B-25H Loadout
« on: June 21, 2009, 10:23:19 PM »
I noticed that the Lancaster has a few different bomb load outs like 4000 lbs with 1000 lbs and so forth, well I saw these and was wondering if maybe do the same to the B-25H. They show the different bomb loadoust of the B-25H. I know its a long shot, but would give a little bit more options to game play, and for those who would like to run missions. If anything though, would be some good gee wiz info for anyone who likes the B-25H.

I think the pics are "member password protected" from the boards they are linked from because I see a little red x too and when I go directly to the link I get a message board log in screen.

I'd like to see 5" rockets available. As they were in real life.

B-25H? A great airplane. The problem is getting a group together to fly them, since they dont go 400mph and you might actually be forced to fight it out in them.

5" HVAR for certain. I think later in the war they were rigged to carry additional bombs under the wings as well.

What I REALLY want is the 6-7 AP rounds they carried.

100% agree!  I have never had the opportunity to fly with anyone else in one of these.  The plane is great to fly, and a real challenge to fight in.  I get people asking me all the time when they see me "What are you flying?" or "Is that a B25?". 

If anyone wants to put a squad together centered around these, just let me know... Im game!

Yeah the AP rounds would be awsome. And as long as they were limited I dont see them as being unbalancing. 6 or 7 rounds would enhance the game not unbalance it.

The thing is the B-25H is an effective plane when used in missions or with support of some kind, even if just support from other 25H's. To many guys take them up alone, fight them alone, get shot down alone, and then never fly them again. But you get a few fighters to support them and Ive seen 1/2 dozen take a town down in no time and then supress Gvs inbound.

I take them up alone, fight them alone, get shot down alone... and get right back in and go back up in one... ALONE!   :salute

Hearing the Wirbleweasles whining when they get plinked from 4000yds out would be priceless. :D

Heck they already whine when that happens.  Seems people don't whine when I kill them anymore though, seems they are use to it. :D
